Chapter 321
“There’s a thunder grenade production site below. Leon… His Highness is scouting there,” Jessica said.
Regarding Leon running into Consort Thalia’s clan members, Jessica kept it to herself. It was not the right time to disclose it now.
Magnus and Shawn brought some people who should be from the Eagle Troops over. Jessica did not know them, but she had seen them before.
With so many people around, some things would have to come from Leon himself,‘ she thought.
“Shawn, notify Markus immediately. Have him bring the Royal Troop to encircle the area. There are about 200–plus people down there, armed with powerful thunder grenades. When Markus arrives, no one should act recklessly. Wait for our news,” Jessica instructed.
“In that case, I…” Magnus was anxious to join His Highness, hearing a thunder grenade production site below.
‘Thunder grenades are too dangerous. Even with all his skills, His Highness is still just flesh and blood,’ he thought.
“The way I go up and down isn’t suitable for bringing the troops. You and I will search another way down. We’ll leave a mark when we find the way.” Jessica said.
Jessica looked at Shawn, her gaze especially stern when she said, “Remember, don’t act recklessly. Wait for our signal, and tell Markus to have his people bring hoes and shovels.”
“Hoes and shovels?” Shawn asked, puzzled.
“Just relay the message, but they must wait for our signal.”
“Yes! I’m not the impulsive type, I…” Shawn was cut off before he could finish speaking.
“Get lost!” Jessica snapped, and Shawn left without another word.
Jessica glanced at Magnus, and he immediately snapped a salute and said, “At your command, Ms. Yates.”
Three men of the Eagle Troops were behind him, with more people from the Leon House. Jessica nodded and turned toward the cliff edge.
Everyone here was able to make their way down from here, but not all of Markus’s alternate, safer route for them.
troops possessed agility techniques. Therefore, they had to find an
“His Highness is still down there. We can’t let anyone discover we’ve been here, as it’ll put him in danger.” Jessica said before leaving, “Magnus, tell the team to erase all traces of our presence.”
“Let me do it!” A young man from the Eagle Troops stepped forward eagerly and said, “Ms. Yates, I’m good at this.”
“Great!” Jessica nodded, confidently entrusting him with the cleanup. Without hesitation, she led the team to search the surrounding area.
Not everyone was an expert. Some were craftsmen, and they needed a hidden path to go down. Jessica firmly believed there was an alternate route.
Before they realized it, midnight had passed. When they found the hidden path and reached the bottom of the cliff, Jessica was starving. Her stomach was growling with hunger.
At that moment, she was not even thinking about her hunger, but about Leon. ‘He’s remained inside
for a long time and is probably starving now.
‘He didn’t bring any food; a lesson learned. Who would’ve thought we’d be chasing them from dawn till midnight? Now I’m so hungry. I wonder how Leon is doing in there?‘ she thought.
“Ms. Yates, I’ve marked the path. Shawn will lead others down,” Magnus said. However, what he was more eager to know was how His Highness was doing in that cave.
